3. Place the mixing jug on the base unit as described previously. Make sure the speed control switch is turned
off (shown as '0') and then plug the blender into a mains socket.
4. You can operate the appliance either by using the speed control switch (part no.6) or the 'pulse' switch
(part no.7).
While the device is in operation, with one hand always make sure the blender jar is fastened to the motor
unit. This way consequences arising from any possible shaking can be avoided.
Pushing the ‘Pulse’ button halfway down corresponds to fixed speed setting 1 (low speed gear), while
pushing the button all the way down initiates speed setting 2 (high speed gear).
Only activate the ‘Pulse’ and ‘Auto Clean’ buttons in speed setting ‘0’!
Choosing the appropriate speed:
a) we recommend a high speed for preparing purees, soups, pastes and mayonnaise.
b) we recommend a low speed for preparing lighter mixtures, such as mousses,
milkshakes and sauces.
c) we recommend using the pulse option if you need a short burst of power for mixing.
5. It's advisable to keep one hand on the feed opening cap when mixing (except when adding extra
ingredients). This will prevent any liquid from forcing itself out through the opening in the centre of the lid.
Resting a hand on the lid also reduces vibration and noise when blending.
6. When you want to stop using the blender, turn the speed control switch to '0' and unplug the appliance
from the mains socket. Detach and remove the mixing jug from the base unit, then remove the lid and pour
out the contents.
Very important!
•
Do not use the blender continuously for more than one minute. Allow the appliance to rest for 10 minutes
after a minute of use. Exceeding the maximum operating time or failing to allow enough resting time can
cause the motor to become overloaded and damaged.
•
The mixing jug must not be used for storing food. Ingredients should not be kept in the jug and any
processed food must be emptied from it as soon as mixing is complete.
•
Never operate the blender when it is empty
USING OF APPLIANCE
Before use
•
Unpack the appliance and remove all the packing materials.
•
Inspect the appliance and the accessories carefully to verify their soundness and undamaged condition. Only
perfectly sound and damage-free appliances may be connected to the electrical mains.
•
After removing the packaging (or after a lengthy period of storage), carefully clean all the parts that come
into direct contact with food; in particular, the mixing jug, mixing blade, grinding jug and grinding housing.
Detailed instructions are given in the 'Maintenance and cleaning' section.
Assembling the blender
1. Fasten the blender jar to the motor unit, making sure that it fits properly. Mount the
blender jar so that, facing the device, the jar handle is positioned to the right-hand
side of the device. Check to make sure the jar is securely fastened to the motor unit.
The blender jar can only be fastened normally to the motor unit in one specific
position. Thanks to the safety switch the device can only be activated if the jar is
positioned properly. If, in the course of fastening the blender jar to the motor unit, the
blender jar gets stuck or does not fasten to the motor unit precisely, do not force it,
instead rotate the plastic clutch on the bottom of the jar just a bit, and afterwards try
to fasten the jar to the motor unit again.
2. Place the lid on the bowl so that the collars on the lid fit in the grooves of the bowl,
and then turn the lid slightly clockwise, so that the arrow on the lid faces towards the
nose of the bowl. Then insert the graduated jar into the filling hole located in the
middle of the bowl lid.
Using the blender
1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable work surface. Ensure the base unit will remain ventilated during use;
remove any material (e.g. a soft tablecloth, paper etc) that could cause problems.
2. Remove the mixing jug from the base unit. Remove the lid and fill the jug with your chosen ingredients. Avoid
filling the jug to the 'max' marking if you are using thin liquids. To prepare larger quantities, simply make a
number of smaller batches. (Remember to allow the machine to rest after a maximum 60 seconds use).
Always place liquids in the measuring jug before adding any solid ingredients. Solid foods (e.g. vegetables,
fruit or meat) should be cut into small pieces before placing them in the jug. Do not fill the mixing jug beyond
the halfway mark (0.75l) when using coarsely-chopped food. After adding your ingredients, fit the lid on the
jug and insert the feed opening cap. (Make sure the lid fits tightly). Wipe any moisture or food from the
outside of the jug.
When preparing the ingredients to be blended, the 30 x 60 millilitre blending funnel can be used to measure
the ingredients.
